Chapter 209: Battlefield Camp
Like Moros, Artumon the Huntsman was killed by Madison in a frenzy, but remained loyal to his undead minions.
Compared with the chaste saint, Gauss's impression of Atumen is actually more profound.
The reason is very simple, the Knights of the Black Blade have a death knight named Midnight, before this death knight was reincarnated, it was originally an embodied undead horse mount, and this undead horse mount called Midnight was obtained from the hunter Atumen.
Gauss never imagined that the undead knight he killed casually would be such a source.
However, stealing the soul of Atumen is more in line with the need.
The Hunter Artumen's status is not low, and he naturally understands Karazan's situation better than ordinary tower creatures.
So Gauss did not hesitate to march with the chaste saint while examining the soul of Artusen.
To examine Atumen's soul is to find out what is going on in Karazhan by looking through his memories. As for Karazhin's internal situation, although Gauss did not know what the current situation was, he already had some understanding of what happened before the day of tranquility.
It is worth mentioning that Karazhan's news actually came from the Lich King, who inherited the memories of Arthas, who had heard Medivan tell some of the past before the Stratholme massacre.
All the changes in Karazan are related to Medivan, but the mastermind behind it is Sargeras.
Medivan was invaded by Sargeras when he was a fetus, and after more than ten years, he inherited the power of his mother Egwen's protection and grew into an astral mage, and at the same time, he was also influenced by Sargeras more and more.
Sargeras wants to completely dominate Medivan, but Medivan has been resisting all the time, trying to expel Sargeras's power from his body. If it was as expected, this expulsion process should have been recorded by the Tower, and when this process was strengthened by the Book of Medivan and the Void Imprisonment, over time, three Karazans were formed.
The three Karazans have their own origins, and they are all related to a kind of magical energy, that is, the arcane power of order, the arcane power of distortion, and the evil power of chaos. The Force attribute of the Arcanon is order, and after some distortion, the order will fall into the opposite direction, so that the Arcanon will show the attribute of chaos, while the Force attribute of the evil energy is chaos, so the distorted Arcanon of the same attribute, after a layer of transformation, will generate the evil energy.
The Titan is a creature of order and matches the Arcane of Order, and the Demon is a creature of chaos and matches the evil power of Chaos, so once the Titan Sargeras becomes the king of demons, it actually means that he has mastered the Arcane of Order, the Arcana of Twist, and the Evil of Chaos at the same time.
In order to exorcise the power of Sargeras, Medivan once specially built a mirror crypt to vent the evil energy of Sargeras, and it is obvious that it was this mirror crypt used to vent the evil energy that evolved the evil energy Karazan under the tower.
Medivan also has the order arcane ability, so naturally there is no need to exorcise it, but because Sargeras's evil energy is transformed from the distorted arcane energy, when Medivan vented the evil energy, he actually released the huge distorted arcane energy into the tower. If nothing else, the Karazhan dimension, where the Twisted Arcane is dominant, should have evolved from this.
Although there is no real hammer, Gauss can be sure that his speculation is close to the truth.
The content of the actual Atumen's memory also confirms this speculation from the side.
Of course, the main purpose of the soul examination of Atumen is not this.
Through this examination, Gauss finally had a clear understanding of Karazhan's current situation.
He was surprised to find that the current Karazan has become a battlefield!
Needless to say, the war is naturally fought between the creatures of the tower.
And unexpectedly, Karazhan's tower creatures have formed five war camps!
The constructive beings led by the chaste saints are one of the order camps.
The strength of this camp is only ranked fourth among the five camps.
As the leader of the faction, the Virgin of Chastity actually has another origin, and is not a Titan Guardian from Azeroth.
When Sargeras destroyed the Pantheon, he also destroyed many of the Titan planets of order, and it was at that time that the Chaste Saintess fell from a collapsed Titan planet to the astral plane. Before the Day of Tranquility, Medivan had done many magical experiments in Karazhan, and on one occasion, he summoned a chaste saint from the astral plane.
As the guardian of the Titans, the Chaste Saintess is already responsible for guiding the order, and she has the power of holy light, so she regards purifying evil as her duty. After coming from the astral plane, the chaste saint saw that Medivan was becoming more and more wicked and depraved, and she tried to purify Karazhan once and for all. Medivan did not allow the chaste saint to be presumptuous, so he imprisoned her, and it was because of her captivity that she escaped by chance, when Medivan went berserk and slaughtered his servants and guests.
On the day of tranquility, there was an internal disturbance in Karazhin, and the chaste saint took the opportunity to leave the forbidden place and re-establish her mission to purify Karazan. At the same time, the battle equipment in the chess hall was also activated by the strange energy and became a kind of structural life. Considering that the "forces of evil" were too strong, the Chaste Saints persuaded these structural beings to join her side.
Among the five camps, the fifth is actually the wild camp.
The Wild faction consists of three races, namely Mana Floating Dragons, Evil Spirits, and some animals such as rats and spiders. Shaped like a green shadow, the evil spirit is an elemental creature that appears from the evil energy Karazan, similar to the nature of a mana floating dragon. The races of the wild camp have an absolute sense of territory, and they are all based on one side of the space, and any alien creature that intrudes will be attacked indiscriminately.
The three most powerful factions are the Medivan faction, the Burning Legion faction, and the Void faction.
Medivan's faction consists of two types of members, one is the undead and the other is magical creatures. The undead are basically minions and guests killed by Medivan, and the magical creatures are characters who have come out of past visions under the influence of Karazan's magic.
The leader of this faction is the Shadow of Medivan!
Medivan's shadow is not Medivan's shadow, but an illusion of Medivan's past.
The reason why the phantom shadow appears is mainly because of Medivan's power, which echoes in the Karazhan Tower all the time, and when this power is further strengthened by the Book of Medivan and the Void Prison, it affects the evolution of time and space, making some scenes in the past first become illusions, and then become more and more condensed, and finally some characters appear. These characters have the same appearance and thinking as the original characters, but the way of existence is completely different, and they can only be regarded as a special type of magical creatures.
The Burning Legion faction, originally entrenched at the top of the Karazan Tower, now occupies the evil energy Karazan.
Surprisingly, the situation of this camp is the most miserable.
Prior to the Day of Tranquility, two factions of the Burning Legion, attracted by the power of the Tower, appeared in Karazhan at the same time. Of these, one faction is under the command of Prince Aridad Makzar and is part of the Burning Legion and is part of the Akmund system, and one is under the command of Viz Edm the Eye Demon and is part of the Kil'Gardan system within the Burning Legion.
Originally, the two forces were united, and it could really be said that they could be captured by hand, but they didn't expect that as soon as the Battle of the Tower began, Azeroth ushered in the Day of Tranquility, and the forbidden layer formed by the void energy not only immediately sealed the huge fleet led by Wiz Adam, but also isolated the support troops arranged by Prince Makzar. In this case, although the Burning Legion camp still has some advantages in strength in Karazhan, the plan to capture the tower is obvious.
Makzar and Wizedm both have excellent battlefield command skills, so as the Tower War slowly unfolded, the Burning Legion camp started from the top of the tower and advanced down layer by layer, with heavy losses, but still made a lot of progress.
However, at this time, another camp appeared at the top of the tower, that is, the Void Camp.
The reason why the Void Camp appeared was actually because, unlike the other vice-primaries, the confinement layer of this tower had another mutation at the top of the tower, and as a correspond, the deepest part of the evil energy Karazhan also had the same situation.
Karazan draws on the Astral Plane and Azeroth energy, and there are two key traction and introduction locations, one at the top of the tower and the other at the deepest part of the crypt, and the deepest part of the crypt is actually the mirror spire of Karazan.
At the top of the Karazan Tower, the Confinement Layer has evolved an open spatial structure, which makes an extremely strange spatial passage between Karazan and the Astral Plane. Although there are spatial passages, which means that the Karazhan Tower is not a completely closed dimension, and there are some entrances that exist in the astral plane, and the Karazan Tower can be entered from different entrances in the astral plane, but in fact, these ports are scattered in the astral passages, but they are all space traps.
Entering the space passage from the entrance of the astral boundary is actually equivalent to directly entering the confinement layer at the top of the tower.
In the spatial sense, this confinement layer not only has a long distance, but once it enters, it is impossible to exit at all, and can only advance towards Karazhan step by step independently or involuntarily. But the most terrifying thing is that the closer you get to the Karazhan Tower, the higher the pressure in the space passage, just like diving into the deep sea, the increasing pressure, once it exceeds the tolerance limit, the creatures or objects inside the passage will disintegrate like fireworks, and then convert into energy and be absorbed by the tower.
The huge fleet of the Eye Demon Wiz Adem is the spatial passage that fell into the top of the tower.
However, the confinement layer at the top of the tower is not impossible to break through, as long as you resist the pressure of the space passage, it is possible to break through the confinement layer and enter the Karazan Tower. Although there is not a single one left of Wizedm's fleet with the passage of time, there are still some powerful demons who use various methods to resist the pressure and break away from the passage to the top of the tower.
It goes without saying that since the demons of the Burning Legion can, so can other creatures.
After the Day of Tranquility, there were actually countless creatures from different entrances of the astral plane, and a steady stream of them entered the spatial passage connecting Karazhan, although these creatures collapsed ninety out of nine, but after all, a small number of them entered the Karazan Tower. When they appear at the top of the tower, they will inevitably clash with the Legion Demon, and as more and more powerful creatures come from the astral plane, the Legion Demon, who originally had an absolute advantage, gradually loses control of the situation and becomes the weaker side.
Feeling bad, Makzar and Wizedm led the Legion Demon to force their way through the layers of the tower and enter the mirrored crypt beneath the tower, regardless of their losses. Demons match evil powers, so Makzar and Wizedm naturally believe that as long as they enter the mirrored crypt with abundant evil powers, they can further increase the strength of the Legion demons while occupying the advantageous position.
The calculations of the Burning Legion camp are actually very logical, but they obviously can't imagine what kind of terrifying effect Karazhan Tower will have under the double acceleration of the Book of Medivan and the Void Imprisonment.
Demons can wield evil powers, but they can also pollute demons if they are beyond their control.
So, when the mirrored crypt under the tower gradually evolved into the evil energy Karazan, when this Karazan's evil energy was so abundant that even elemental creatures naturally appeared, the Legion Demon became a tragedy as a whole.
In fact, the Burning Legion camp can no longer be said to belong to the Burning Legion.
The current Legion Demon has long been polluted by evil energy, and the whole has evolved into an evil creature that acts according to instinct. Although the Legion's orders to occupy the Karazhan Tower had been transformed into an instinct after the mental breakdown, the Burning Legion would obviously not heed if a new order was issued.
The leader of this camp is none other than Makzar.
Under the influence of evil powers, Makzar's Eredan talent has been fully exploited.
He has now risen to prominence and has become the lord of the evil power Karazan!
Gauss was amazed, and his eyes inadvertently swept to find that the troops of the chaste saint had disappeared.
He was taken aback and quickly sensed, and only then did he find the whereabouts of the chessboard army.
Gauss flashed and entered a porch.
The porch is extremely wide, only at the end, and there is no door in sight.
It is not difficult to imagine that with the expansion of space, the porch gradually increases, and even if there is a door, it has long been torn apart.
Walking through the porch, Gauss sensed a change in the rules of space.
This kind of spatial rule, without having to understand it, he has already seen it with his own eyes.
The Holy Maiden of Chastity was leading the troops in front of them, and hundreds of ferocious creatures were blocking their way.
These ferocious creatures are as large as elephants, but if you look closely, they are actually rats.
